Extend The Life Of Your Nissan Rogue Sport With These Service Tips

By
Posted in Uncategorized

The Nissan Rogue Sport is Nissan’s latest update to the already best-selling model, and was featured in a Nissan Insider video with Remi Maggio. With several luxury and tech upgrades, this car is perfect for both long family vacations and driving to work each morning. But no matter if you are driving a crossover like the Rogue Sport or a sedan like the Nissan Altima, all cars need regular servicing to run a maximum efficiency. At Cardinale Nissan, your local Monterey car dealership, we provide quality Nissan car service that will extend your car’s lifetime.

–

Fluid Rotations

Your car engine requires oil to avoid permanent damage, so around every 4,500 miles schedule an oil and oil filter change. The levels of other fluids in your vehicle such as the coolant and transmission fluid also need to be monitored, and having your service professionals check these during the oil change will keep you on schedule and save time.

–

Engine Maintenance

Much like your tires, the spark plugs and other essential parts of your engine will decay over time and operate less efficiently. An inspection approximately every 40,000 miles can help catch potential problems ahead of time, and save you trouble on the road.

–

Brake And Tire Replacement

Considering how important your brakes are to your car and safety, it’s important to have them checked out about every 60,000 miles. Both the brake pads and your tires erode over time, and will eventually become too thin. Overinflation and underinflation will also make your tires more vulnerable to damage, so consult your owner’s manual to find the proper pressure.

The best part about getting your #NissanRogueSport serviced at Cardinale Nissan is the ability to schedule an appointment ahead of time and skip the wait. Simply head over to www.cardinalenissan.com, where you can also find more information and our best offers on all new and used Nissan models.

Conquer Nighttime Driving With These Cardinale Nissan Service Tips

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Driving at night requires far more concentration and practice than driving during the day. When it is bright outside, it’s easier to see the whole length of cars running alongside you, and shifting lanes is much safer. A large survey by SYLVANIA Automotive posed a question about night driving to motorists and found that over 60% of drivers try to avoid driving after the sun goes down. Cardinale Nissan wants to make your driving experience safer and more enjoyable, and we offer several upgrades and Nissan car service options that can help you prepare better for nighttime driving in Monterey.

–

Headlight Repairs

Having a reliable source of bright light is crucial for driving safely at night. Without proper illumination, any rural or poorly lit road will be extremely treacherous to drive on as you may not be able to see upcoming turns or objects in the road. Faulty tail lights won’t be able to relay your turn signals to other drivers, and they won’t be able to know your intentions. The glass that covers your headlights can also become grimy and opaque over time, reducing the amount of light that passes through it. Our trained mechanics at your local Monterey auto dealer can get these problems fixed for you in no time.

–

Part Upgrades At Cardinale Nissan

With only a few upgrades, you can make your car better suited for night time travel. High-performance headlights enhance the quality of the lighting and the distance that is revealed, giving you more time to react. At #CardinaleNissan we can also help replace any worn-out brake pads or tires and help you find the best replacement for your budget. For a list of all the services we offer and more information about all our car models, head over to www.cardinalenissan.com.

Experience The Best Lineup Of Fuel Efficient Cars In America At Cardinale Nissan

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Summer leads to generally higher gas prices, so people are always looking for ways to be more fuel efficient and lower their carbon footprint. One of the most significant sources of pollution is transportation, and there are many older vehicles that have a low EPA fuel rating. This leads to greater emissions and more severe ozone warnings. Thanks to Nissan’s award winning hybrid and electric car lineup though, it’s easy to save gas and the environment at the same time, so head over to Cardinale Nissan today.

–

Nissan Leaf

Electric cars are predicted to be the way of the future thanks to their incredible efficiency, compatibility with self-driving systems and very little need for Nissan car service. Nissan’s engineers have work hard to design a battery that will keep the car going for over 100 miles without recharging. And, thanks to Nissan’s new No Charge To Charge program, there are thousands of free charging stations all around the country that will have your car ready to go again in about 20 minutes.

–

Nissan Rogue

For people who don’t want to make the full switch to an electric car, a hybrid model like the #Rogue is a great middle ground. The crossover design is more aerodynamic and spacious than ever before, and you now have the option to choose between another row of seating or added cargo space. The hybrid component makes driving on city road less taxing and emission free, which gives the car an EPA estimated 34 mpg combined.

The best Monterey car dealership to see if either of these 2017 models are right for your life is Cardinale Nissan. Whether you are looking for reliable service or a great offer on any new or used car, visit us in store or online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Drive Greener And Stay Safe Around Cyclists With These Tips

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Drive Greener

Biking is a great workout that you also can use in order to save gas and lower emissions. If you only live a short distance from your work, biking there and back each day is an easy way to burn calories and save money. If your work is farther away and you still want to lower your gas bill, your local Monterey auto dealer, Cardinale Nissan, has a diverse lineup of hybrid and electric cars. We also have some great tips on how to share the road better with cyclists.

–

Driver Tips

Sharing the road with #cyclists is easier than you might think, and only takes a few adjustments to your normal routine. As you drive along, scan the right side of the road or the dedicated bike lane for any cyclists who may be up ahead. For areas without these specialized lanes, be extremely cautious when going around a cyclist. Remain a safe distance away, don’t honk and patiently wait for the ideal moment to pass. If there are complicating conditions like low visibility or a blind spot up ahead, consider holding off until a better opportunity arises.

–

Cyclist Tips

Both drivers and cyclists can contribute to making encounters safer for both parties. Anytime that you cycle in traffic, make your movements predictable by moving straight ahead on the right side of the road. This allows the drivers behind you to better judge your movements and determine when they will be able to safely pass. Any reflective clothing and other accessories that you wear also help drivers to recognize you at night time when visibility is low.

To keep your car from making any unexpected moves while out on the open road, begin a regular Nissan car service schedule with our experts at Cardinale Nissan. We will keep your car operating at peak performance levels, and you can even schedule service online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Cardinale Nissan Can Fix Any Of Your Car Electrical Problems

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Electricity is important for so much in our daily lives nowadays. From your alarm clock that goes off in the morning, to the light bulb that illuminates the house and the coffee pot you switch on for your morning cup, every modern convenience needs power. Your car also requires electricity, and regular Nissan car service will help keep everything running properly and reliably. For any electrical problem that your car may experience head over to a Monterey auto dealership like #CardinaleNissan to have it repaired in no time.

–

Battery Problems

The source for many electrical malfunctions is often the battery, which can also lose charge if you leave an extra light on or forget to turn off the headlights. Generally, you can simply use cables and another battery to jump it, but in rare cases the battery can be fully dead. Owning a backup is always nice, but if you don’t, Cardinale Nissan can supply and help install a new one.

–

Brake Lights And Headlights

Both sets of lights are critical to driving safely and alerting other drivers to your presence. The headlights pierce through the night and are even more important when driving through fog, which happens a lot on the coast. The brake lights signal to other drivers that you are slowing down so they can follow suit, and need to be fixed as soon as possible if they are not working.

–

Dashboard And Infotainment System

Being aware of measurements such as speed and engine temperature is important, and during the night can be nearly impossible without dashboard LEDs.  The infotainment system isn’t crucial to driving safely, but many features like Android and Apple Car Play, as well real-time navigation, are useful to have access to. If any of these electrical systems need fixing, don’t hesitate to visit Cardinale Nissan or schedule an appointment online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Run Your Car Cleaner And More Efficiently By Getting Your Filters Changed

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Changing air filters

Any air that circulates in buildings will naturally have contaminants and pollutants at first, which can be removed by a clean air filter. You can also find many houses with water filters that remove any excess heavy minerals that can negatively impact taste or your health. A car also has several filters that keep everything running smoothly, and they eventually need replacing after so much use. To get your filters easily checked at a Monterey car dealership, head over to our friendly service department at Cardinale Nissan.

–

Engine Air And Cabin Air Filter

Both the engine and the car cabin itself have their own dedicated air filters. The air filter is critical for preventing contaminants from reaching the inner chambers, where they can cause costly damage. Not only will the engine be less responsive if you have a dirty air filter, it will greatly lower your fuel economy. The cabin air filter is important for maintaining a high quality of air that you breathe while driving, and a clean replacement can help ease problems like asthma and allergies.

–

Emission Filter

An ingenious way that car designers have improved fuel economy and reduced pollution is reburning the fumes that are produced during combustion. During this process, dangerous oil vapor can be produced and the emission filter is responsible for removing this hazard.

–

Fuel Filter

To properly burn, fuel must mix with air and the fuel filter removes any potential contaminants in the fuel before it reaches the engine. Gasoline and diesel fuels are not totally pure, and any dirt that builds up in your engine will reduce your car’s efficiency.

Whether your new or used car from #CardinaleNissan needs detailed service work or just a quick inspection, we will be happy to provide quality Nissan car service. To skip the wait and save some time, be sure to book an appointment online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Experience The Beauty That Lies Off-Road In Any Nissan Car

By
Posted in Uncategorized

With all the nature and scenic sites around Monterey, being able to head off-road in your car opens up numerous opportunities. Going off-road lets you escape the busy city traffic and spend some quality time with friends and family while surrounded by beauty. Contrary to popular belief though, you don’t need a rugged ATV or heavy duty truck like the Nissan Pathfinder to tackle the rough roads, and at Cardinale Nissan we can help you transform your car into the ultimate off-road machine.

–

The tires on your Nissan make the biggest difference when traversing uneven terrain. They will be under much more stress on rocky ground, and four all-terrain tires will make the ride safer and smoother. Try to find a tire with a tread that is well suited for gripping loose surfaces and has a wide sidewall. If your car generally uses smaller tires, a wide sidewall will help maintain balance and grip the road better. Another major benefit of #all-terrain tires is their enhanced resistance to punctures from sharp rocks and surfaces you might encounter.

–

Because getting car service is much more difficult while off-road, it is important get your car inspected for any potential problems before heading out on a longer trip. Our service department at Cardinale Nissan can make sure your car is running at maximum efficiency, as well as see if any fluids need replacing. We will also check that your all-terrain tires are properly rotated and aligned to reduce any added strain.

If you have any other concerns about your Nissan Altima or other Nissan model, be sure to visit our service professionals at Cardinale Nissan. You can easily schedule Nissan car service online as well as browse our entire inventory at www.cardinalenissan.com.

How To Deal With Windshield Damage On Your Nissan

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Cracked windshield repair

The sharp smack or ping of a rock hitting the windshield can be a frightening sound when driving on the highway. Even a small rock striking the glass at the right angle can cause damage to the windshield, and larger projectiles can cause serious cracks. Small chips or breaks may not appear to be a significant problem, but even a small fracture can grow into a bigger problem if not handled in a timely manner. At Cardinale Nissan in Monterey, our Nissan car service experts are trained to help repair these problems and can help you learn to avoid them in the future.

–

One of the biggest dangers of windshield cracks is their ability to expand and cause problems that are more difficult to fix. If a fracture is left untreated, it can spiral into a bigger and more expensive crack on its own as the glass expands and contracts. It also makes the windshield much more susceptible to additional stress, and the entire structure could break with a severe enough impact. Dirt and debris found on the road can also make their way into the pit of the glass, making the repair costlier.

–

The good news is that windshield damage is often covered by your auto insurance, and a crack smaller than a dollar bill is easy to fix. There are also many ways to avoid cracks in the first place. If you are traveling on gravel or rocky road, give the car in front of you additional space when traveling at higher speeds. Also, try to avoid being in the same lane as trucks that are hauling gravel or other debris.

–

If your car has suffered any glass damage, including on the mirrors or headlights, a Monterey car dealership like #CardinaleNissan is the place to go. You can even schedule an appointment online for our service shop at www.cardinalenissan.com.
